Turn the engine until one of the lifters drops to its lowest position and measure the distance from the pushrod seat to the adjusting bolt ball and you'll be within 1/8" or less of the necessary pushrod length for the combination of parts you have. The travel of the adjuster thread will give you a bit of leeway on the length. Jerry
